Liquorix is very good, but incompatible with java [Brazil bank website incompatibility, java bug]
The two largest banks in Brazil fail along with the java when using liquorix kernel.
Using the Debian kernel-4.0.0-2 amd64 everything works fine. The closest thing I found was this story: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=745089 Back to top |

This is a bug with Java, not the Linux kernel.
Java had years and years to adjust their code to work with the changed linux kernel id options, so I suggest posting bug reports to oracle. You can also, by the way, try using the free software version of java, icedtea, and see how that works. Most browsers, by the way, have STRONGLY recommended in recent years that users totally disable their Java plugins in browsers, at worst, and at best, uninstall them completely, due to ongoing severe and unfixed security issues with browser java. So there's two major problems here, first, a bank using java in the first place, and second, java from oracle failing to handle simple kernel version syntax, something trivial enough to where you'd think even corporate hacks like oracle hires would be able to handle those variations. I suggest to try icedtea plugin, make sure your browser is using it, then test the banks with that and see if it's any better, or if the bank accepts it. Back to top |

Also, you can try using Oracle's official version of java. Depending on the application you are using, the proprietary java build may or may not be better:
You can use "java-package" on Debian to manage the installation: :: Code :: $ apt-cache show java-package

As a final thought, if the bank websites are as incompatible with new software as I think, I recommend running an old version of windows (like Windows XP) in a virtual machine. That is the operating system they are targeting and it's not worth your time to try fixing it on a newer operating system.
You can run XP in a VM with as little as 256/512 mB of ram, memory requirements shouldn't be a barrier to this solution. EDIT: I also updated the subject so as not to mislead any other users of Liquorix browsing the forums. Back to top |
